Accident on 270


Scruit

Recommended Posts

So I just had some guy make a lane change into me on the freeway. If you were slowed down on the north side between 0845 and 0945 then sorry!

He is being cited for unsafe lane change. His truck is wrecked - he lost control and hit the median when he PITted himself against my fender. My fender and bumper are toast, but otherwise my car is fine.

Two witnesses stopped.  One said the guy passed me on the right and then changed lanes into me, exactly what I said.  The other witness told a tale about back and forth road rage that neither myself, the other witness or event he other driver agreed with, and even the cops were shaking their heads at.

Totaled, for sure.

You should buy my 2013 Legacy 3.6R Limited with Nav.

20k miles, clear bra, ceramic tint, summer tires and wheels, winter tires and wheels, both TPMS equipped, Subaru Gold 10yr/100k mile warranty.

Wheels shown are now winter wheels. Summer wheels are Legacy 18" Sport wheels.

Have you ever driven an H6 Legacy?

It's smooth, unlike anything else out there.

If I could sell my car, I'd buy a 2015 model tomorrow.

 

Drove a H4 (I believe) with a CVT and it was weird.  The relationship between engine revs and engine power was non-existent.  I nearly called the rental place thinking the trans was slipping really bad.

 

My wife has the H6 on a 2001 Outback.  Very smooth, but less power than my H4 Turbo.  But my turbo is VERY peaky.  The difference in power output between 3k and 5k rpm is astonishing.  I drove an '11 LGT H4 Turbo and found it to be nowhere near as peaky.  (n fact, funny story, I had the owner and myself half convinced he'd been ripped off on a non-turbo until we realized they moved the turbo to the bottom of the engine for his model year - mine is at the top.  His even has turbo markings on the engine cover pointing at no turbo)

 

I could see the H6 3.6 being a really nice engine.  But you know me.. I'd LOVE to see a 3.6 H6 with a turbo.   They'd need to hand out kleenex with test drives, and not for wiping away tears.

I'm a huge fan of modern diesels, being from you-rupp and all.  I have heard the Subaru diesel int he UK is considered even more bland than most.

 

Having said that, people don't buy diesel for performance unless it's for towing.  Certainly not for speed.

 

I would do a Diesel Subaru, definitely.   I'd miss the turbo, but the mileage would be epic.  I get 21mpg right now.

Can't wait for mini diesels. Driving a loaner 2014/15 outback at the moment and I'm impressed with the quietness in the cab and like some of the center consol changes. The 4 sucks coming from a 6 though and the x-mode freaks out when I thrash it thru the hay fields.

Four years ago, the wife and I took an eleven day trip to Ireland. Our rental car was a brand new 2010 BMW 320d. Six speed standard. I feel in love with that car! I flogged the shit out of it and still got over 40MPG.
